In eonveisation with a Commonwealth man the other day, Mr. Thayer made a suggestion which is not only timely, but which, if acted upon, will add much to the many points of local interest in Greenwood. Mr. Thayer said; "Now that we are to have the finest court house in the country, erected up on a large and beautiful lot, why not have a Confederate monument loi-ated on the northeast corner of the court j house stpiare, overlooking the "mighty Yazoo." * It was servo to ccnmcmcfratS j th . e the brave " r tho " ob, .° ""I' who responded to their country s call, , f J a , nd gave theirlives for a cause which thej-deemed right and just .. fhe C T'T w « al ^ tjiinks the sugges tion a splendid one, and trusts that some one will take hold of the movement and push it until the monument will be an assured fact. • Mr. Thayer stated that he would sub scribe $50 to get the movement started, and there are no doubt many others who would contribute liberally.

The re port last week that a second bank would ! be organized at Sidon seems to be pre | mature, and it is understood that the gentleman who contemlated organizing the second bank at that place, will join ' Messes. Thayer and Jones, and make one strong financial institution at this thriv l ing place. The general prosperity which prevails all over the county has made it îu'ces sary that the people of these two enter prising towns have better facilities for transacting the financial affairs, ami these banks have been projected to j meet the requirements if existing condi tions. a 1 rv;ulv Tav«> valurs band fixtures.
